"   The effectiveness of DIY lightening will depend on your base colour \u2013 the blonder you are the easier it is \u2013 but there are hacks that will work on most hair types, without damaging the condition (or your bank balance). Try these simple tricks for a summer brightening fix. 1. With groceries Your kitchen cupboard hosts a wealth of beautifying elixirs including clever ones to colour your hair naturally. You&amp;#039;ve probably heard of using lemon juice in your locks, which works when the citric acid opens the hair cuticles and combined with UV exposure and oxygen, bleaches your hair - but it can dry it out. For a shine-boosting brightening blend try the trick with beer. Really. Add some lemon to the liquid and pour it over your hair in the sunshine before washing off to get a gorgeous at-home ombre effect. With both tricks be careful to only apply the potions to your hair, as citrus can discolour your skin. And don&amp;#039;t forget your SPF! 2. With shampoos Whatever shade on the blonde spectrum you are, you can go even lighter and brighter by using clever shampoos. John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Shampoo and Conditioner are ammonia and peroxide-free but thanks to its fusion of citrus extract and chamomile can actually lighten your hair by two shades. No mean feat! 3. With root concealers The new wave of root concealers come in the form of temporary colour sprays, rather than eyeshadow-style powders to cover root re-growth. Similar to coloured dry shampoos (but less powdery), these don&amp;#039;t only hide rebellious roots but can be used to lighten all over, or for a quick dip-dye. Try the new aerosol Instant Root Concealers from Charles Worthington and spray from 20cm away, lifting your hair as you do.
